David Beckham says be would probably burst into tears if England were to win the World Cup.
The England skipper believes his side have every chance of victory in Berlin on July 9 and admits it would be very emotional moment.
"It would be incredible and I know what would happen," Beckham said Sunday.
"I am an emotional person and there's no doubt I would cry. It's made many captains cry over many years and many World Cups.
"Winning trophies is always an emotional moment and the World Cup is the biggest trophy of them all and will be the biggest thrill.
"As a kid, I always dreamed of playing for Manchester United and for my country, being captain of my country and winning trophies.
"And I am so lucky that I have been able to do all of those things - except winning something with my country, so that would really top it off for me."
Beckham continued his preparations by playing 68 minutes of Saturday's 6-0 rout of Jamaica at Old Trafford, with Sven Goran Eriksson's side starting their Group B campaign next Saturday against Paraguay.
And Beckham insisted that England need to get off to a strong start to their group stages in order to set the tone for their campaign in Germany.
"If you don't start off well, it puts still more pressure on you, but hopefully we can put that right," he said.
"I don't think the games are going to be as easy as people think. Paraguay are going to be very tough to come up against straight off.
"And each team in the group has players with the potential to upset us, so it is vitally important we get a good start."
But the Real Madrid star conceded that defending champions Brazil remain the team to beat. "They are the best team in the world and I think they might be even better than four years ago," he said.
"They have got players right through their team who have been at the top level for a number of years. They've got people who can win a game in a second, and when you've been to a few World Cups you learn that it often only takes a second to change a game and knock someone out."
Beckham believes that the Brazilians are also wary of England. "The Brazilians at Real Madrid joke and laugh all the time, but I don't think they like playing against teams like England," he said.
"If I hit a strong pass to someone's feet they will call it an English pass, but they respect the English game and the Premiership so much. I see them watching it every week.
"They've always respected us for being tough and physically strong, but they know we've raised our game technically as well.
"Ten or 20 years ago England might have lagged behind, but we don't need to feel inferior on that score any more.
"We do have the belief. You can see that in players' eyes. There's an air of confidence about us this time, and you have to have that.
"When you come up against a team like Brazil, with all the players they have, it's hard to actually believe you can beat them, but with this team it's different. I think this is the best squad we've had and the best chance we've had. Since I've been in the team anyway and that's almost 10 years now.
"Of course it is even stronger with Wayne (Rooney), and we all want to see him play, but I believe even without him we have some of the best players in the world. If Wayne is unavailable I think we are capable of finding other ways to win."
Meanwhile, Beckham, 31, admitted that he will be under orders from his son Brooklyn to score in Germany and do a special World Cup goal celebration.
"Brooklyn is old enough to realise what's going on now," he said.
"He knows why I'm going away. He always says: "Can you score me a goal, and can you put your shirt over your head when you've scored?" Because that's what he does when he scores for his school. I think he'd be quite proud if I did that and I'd love to please him, but I don't want to get a booking."
